'How long it’ll be until he sues an economist': Experts blast Trump’slawsuit against pollster

After President-elect Donald Trump threatened to sue the Des Moines Register over the newspaper's "final election poll showing" the MAGA leader "several points behind Vice President Kamala Harris in Iowa," according to HuffPost, Trump officially filed the suit Monday night.

Puck News' Tara Palmeri reported, "NEW: Trump filed a civil lawsuit tonight against Ann Selzer, her polling company & the Des Moines register claiming consumer fraud and 'brazen election interference" over her Nov 2 poll showing Harris winning."

Palmeri then noted: "What's so unprecedented about this suit is that Trump is suing Selzer's polling company too, which may be a way to send a chill to the industry that will be measuring public opinion and in turn his legacy since he can't run for reelection"

University of Michigan economics professor Justin Wolfers replied: "As Trump files suit against a pollster for a principled (but ultimately incorrect) poll, one wonders how long it'll be until he sues an economist who dares forecast anything other than four years of glory."
